About UX Y’all

UX Y’all is the annual conference hosted by the Triangle UXPA, a North Carolina chapter of the User Experience Professionals Association. The conference is fully planned and operated by a team of volunteers. It was started in 2018 to further support and highlight the Triangle’s community of UXers.

Our Theme

This year’s theme centers around the idea of The Breaks. We want to hear about your lucky breaks, what caused you to put on the brakes, and what things you have broken (either by accident or design). What lessons can we impart from breaking apart systems, designs, culture, and our environments?

Homophones are encouraged, it’s all fair games because - in the words of the great Kurtis Blow - these are the breaks! Break it up, break it up, break it up!

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring UXers together to share their knowledge and expertise. We strive to be welcoming to all, with a variety of speakers and attendees. 

Because we are focused on the Triangle NC community, our session speakers are primarily from our region, but we welcome UXers from anywhere to join us in North Carolina!
